TPG had not won a Semi-Finals game since 2002. SSC has won 4 championships since then. TPG and SSC squared off last night on Great Lawn 6 in Game 1 of the Semi-Finals. SSC Pitcher Scott Habjan was as good as any softball pitcher ever in our league last night, retiring the first 8 batters he faced, and striking out 3 of the first 5 TPG hitters.
But TPG held tough, and Pitcher Derrick Blocker responded with 3 shutout innings of his own. Alison Hopke coninued her bid for female MVP of the league by breaking up Scott's perfect game, and finishing with 2 hits (Alison has now reached safely in every game she started). The turning points of this game were TPG Catcher Princess' two walks (one for an RBI with the bases loaded), as she proved to be the only batter Scott had trouble with.
A defensive gem on both sides, the final score 6-3. Game 2 tonight on Great Lawn 2.
THE TERMINATOR WILL STRIKE TONIGHT!!
